Things

Quick post before bed tonight!


My boyfriend & I went up to the West 49 outlet we had heard about from a girl at my work near Warden & Eglinton & to my surprise right at the bus stop there was a Salvation Army. Now Salvation Army is my favourite thrift, but it has yielded a treasure or two in the past, but more often than not, I am leaving empty handing.

To my surprise they had this Federal bowl.. $3.99. I do already have this bowl, it's packed away in a box somewhere & I am glad to have another. A few chips around the rim, but the graphics are still so colourful it will look beautiful on display. Last weeks trip to Mississauga brought this very cute retro Lord Nelson Pottery elephant string holder in yellow - $1.51.

At the outlet my boyfriend was lucky to score a killer pair of DC boots for the wintertime. Last year they had them at Boathouse & the hipster working there had told my boyfriend, "YA, DC doesn't make these in size 13." Low & behold, a year later.. for $49.99 marked down from $159.99, we got the boots! A couple shirts too..



Joining up with HER LIBRARY ADVENTURES for FLEA MARKET FINDS.
